2017 Colorado

From New Mexico I headed north to Rt. 160 in Colorado then west to the South Fork area. There is a NFS campground there called Big Meadows Reservoir and I stayed there 5 nights. What a lovely setting and area! The campsites are on the side of a mountain, terraced up, each one had a level gravel area with more than enough room for the Casita and truck. They each have a picnic table and fire pit, too. I was surprised that while I was there of the 47 sites maybe 10 were used at any one time.

The reservoir is apparently loaded with fish (lots of day visitors and campers fishing, nice for paddling or hiking around. The runoff makes a lovely waterfall so I played around with taking images at different settings with and without the ND filter.

The second night I was there turned out to be the clearest so it was good I took advantage of it. As it was some clouds moved in but I had a chance to get a few images. It was so dark there, had to really push the settings.
